On the morning of the 13th of April, the weather was serene and cool, the thermometer, at eight in the morning, +5� Reaum., and at noon, +9�.

The thermometer a little after mid-day rose to 94° Fahr. and 27° 30' of ��é���ܳ�.

The temperature of the water was 33° Reaum.; in colour it is a pale green. 

We had this day accomplished a journey of more than twenty-four miles, in a temperature of 35° to 36° Reaum., and had suffered much from the scorching wind, which came laden with particles of dust.
